Is there a better media player for this ROM? When I stream bluetooth audio to my car, ESFileExplorer doesn't accept the forward and backward buttons like any other media player used to.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ruabell:
other than the backup forward issue ... how is your sound quality?

hands down best rom ive ever used but the sound quality sucks on headset or directly plugged into auxiliary in car or home reciever! I normally playing flac or mp3 audio but again it sounds horriable! a few weeks ago I made a statement that after a fresh install with a full wipe it sounded better but I was wrong. must of listening to a CD and didn't pay attention to inputs or something .. I use powerMax player where there is a "pre amp" and eq settings ... IWLT cm7 is my current rom but I watch this board daily for any updates...

good luck with your bt issues ..

My sound was quite anemic until I copied the extreme version of this file into /system/etc http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1603327

Then it was back on par with other ROMs I used which in retrospect probably included this hack. I hope this fixes your problem!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] riahc3:
I have to admit, the child made a pretty stable ROM. Kinda leaves in shame most of the adult devs but oh well....

The only problem Ive had is in 2 months, 5 random reboots but very loosly. Other than that, nothing really remarkable that I can think of.

It would be nice for there to be a option for the swipe down to automatically go to the notifcations/quick setting screen.

Also, are we going to see any updates for this?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ruabell:
yes finally got an opportunity to put the file in and agreed works much better! thank you!!!! one question permissions are -rw am I good?

thanks again!

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] borealis17:
Happy to hear that! That thread definitely deserves a bump so people having similar trouble can find it.

And I think it only needs to be -rw when you apply the file and reboot. My folder is r/o now and sounds still working great.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] masterleron:
New version 1.5.5 out. Small updates include increased volume mod from Never Gone. Test and let me know if there are any problems. Also removed DSP Manager, let me know what works for you.

Looking forward to trying out this rom for the first time, but the download link isn't working for me.

This rom seems pretty slick. however i went down 30% in the half hour afterinstalling..

hope this will slow down a bit when my phone is back in my pocket..

Thanks, MasterLeron. Really good ROM so far (last 5 hours). How do I go about getting the T-Mobile Wi-Fi calling app?

If you or anyone figure it pout there are lots of bounties, you'll make some good cash!

In jb its not a separate, rather its built into the framework and not easily implemented into custom ROMs
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sergeikaspd:
please, make the "trackpad answer\hugup" function like in minicry....pleeeeeeeeaaaaaaaase ;(
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MMDominator88:
A quick search yielded

*Update - you can still update your radio to the latest version using this page, but the WiFi calling add-on does not work for JB (4.2) ROMs right now

I'm sure you mean trackpad answer and 'hangup' function - I will give you a free hug tho ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] FullScreen57:
No luck. "Unfortunately, Wi-Fi Calling has stopped.", box keeps on popping up. I ended up restoring from a Nandroid backup
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MMDominator88:
Error :(

Just tried myself and get the same issue, even after clearing data and cache from the app screen and restarting it, no go :(

The error i got from catlog was

dalvikm

dlopen("/system/lib/libkineto.so") failed: Cannot load library: soinfo_relocate(linker.cpp:989): cannot locate symbol "_ZN7android11AudioRecordC1EijijijPFviPvS1_ES1_ii" referenced by "libkineto.so"...

Maybe we can look into this for just a second and see what's goin on :p

To disable it by itself you can go into the app and click disable, is what I did, no need to restore from backup methinks
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MonkeySnot:
Hi Masterleron,

I wanna thank you very much for this rom! Its super smooth, fast, responsive and the audio quality is allot better since last patch.

I never thought that we would ever get JB running this smooth on our devices. So once again BIG UP to you my friend.

P.S. I know its AOSP but since we have the ability to skip tracks with the volume rockers, maybe its an idea to also put the feature in that if you hold your camera button you can play/pause the music?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ruabell:
agreed the best rom ever!!!! smooth!! bright!! vivid!! faster than ever!!

but (sorry everyone) the audio quality is now loud but muffled ...

tried to tweak the eq and preamp settings in poweramp but sadly it doesn't sound good. the patch helped but....

Hi!

Can you please check if the installation instructions in the below link are golden for Desire Z? I have stock Froyo/HTC Sense 2.1 at the moment.. and this will the first custom ROM I ever flash on an Android phone!

http://www.droidgator.com/update-htc-desire-z-jelly-baby-build-150-android-422-firmware/

Cheers!

UPDATE: Oh and my phone is rooted/S-Off etc... followed the Xdiv wiki!

UPDATE2: Nevermind.. I figured it out)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ruabell:
hmmm which media player do you suggest using? mainly playing FLAC files (lossless)... thanks again

Sent from my HTC Vision
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] theenlightened1:
I've bought poweramp too.. love that player.. hope its not too much of a problem!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] theenlightened1:
Got the ROM.. flashing was easy..

It runs very very fast and smooth... all apps and hardware is functional and UI is extremely responsive..

However I did notice some issues..

1) Battery ran out from 100 to 84 in like 30 minutes without WiFi/data on or any games/music.

2) The light on the digitizer goes off after just 5 seconds.. I tried fiddling with settings to no use..

3) The camera photos are too dark even with flash on.. auto flash doesnt always fire even in a dark room

4) WiFi signals are too low even though the router is in the next room. If I go sit in the garden the phone doesnt even find the network. GB didn't have this prob.

Overall... I love the UI/font and how responsive everything is and I can live with the digitizer issue.. but camera and battery problems are too massive for me.. so I'm not sure If I'll keep using it or flash something else on..

But I must say good work to you for making this ROM... Never thought I'd be using JB on my Desire Z with such an awesome performance :good::good:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] masterleron:
Just don't tweak the eq settings then.

Is there any way to add T9 to dialer?

Hello,

I must admit, this is a good rom, and I use it as DD because it is the only one stable Android 4 Rom that works with my BT headset... But I have a little issue here...

Some applications like gStrings for example cannot use the microphone rendering them useless...

Is there any way to fix it?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ramprabhu19:
T9 dialer...

As many in need of t9 dialer with this ROM, i hereby attached the t9 dialer flashable file ..

just flash this file in recovery mode..
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] masterleron:
Ill incorporate this into the rom when I have a chance.

Try a full wipe including cache.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MonkeySnot:
I tried flashing your zip but each time I try I'm getting the following error (see attachment).

I download the .zip files multiple times just to be sure its not a faulty download, but that didn't seem to be the problem.

Can anyone confirm this?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] HTCDreamOn:
RE: [ROM][18-05-2013] AOSP 4.2.2 - Jelly Baby - v1.5.5

Status 6 means an error in the update-script (in my experience, I don't know if it's other things as well). Most likely something really small like missing a ; after a line. I'll download and have a look at it and tell masteleron if something is amiss.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ramprabhu19:
Now its all working fine :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MonkeySnot:
Yes it works! Thank you very much, this makes life much easier.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] masterleron:
That T9 dialer works fine. Is there anything else you guys want before I release an update?

the optional quick settings mod doesnt work for me. after i put qsm and the modified systemui into /system/app (with cache clear ofc), the notification bar doesnt loads (wallpaper missing also).

would you be so kind to have a look at it?

ah and can you add smartass2 governor also? :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MonkeySnot:
Yeah thats right... but his first uploaded zip didn't work for me. As for the new release... is it possible to include the mod to play/pause songs with your camera button?

Thanks for all your input man! Love your rom =D
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] H4rry:
This ROM is brill the way it is. I love it. Thanks so much man.

If I was being picky, (and this is only if you're pushing me), I would love a choice in the aroma installer to pick the launcher of my choice, and so save space after I've installed Nova.

Maybe the notification where the clock etc is, if that was transparent. And finally my only real bug with any of the ICS and JB roms is the fact that the clock, battery, wifi etc are all blue but other icons tasker, emails etc are all white. Just the OCD in me saying the should all be white/ gray or at least consistent.

That's only if you get bored and are looking for things to do. ;)

Seriously this rom rocks. It really has put to shame the whole HTC, sorry we can't put ICS/ JB on your phone. What they meant is, we can't put the new Sense on your phone. It would have been nice if they had offered a vanilla version, but all you dev's stepped up and have shown what is possible and how well the phone works with JB. I keep playing with my phone, feels like I have got a new phone all over again. Thanks again man.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ekre:
it seems to be a bug:

when i start the phone, voice search and search "keyboard" works fine. but usually after a few hours or a day, it wont work. it says that google is unreachable. my network is fine. it seems that the voice system cant recognize my microphone. it waits for a few seconds for a voice input and than i got a message about google is unreachable. anyone got that issue or its just me?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] masterleron:
You can't change the notification colour as that comes from the app itself. AROMA might be implemented soon as android evolves.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] masterleron:
Full wipe??
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BrianMay:
I do have another request..not sure if possible...to be able to remove the search bar and use the space it leaves..i have disabled it,but that area of the screen is unusable.is that possible?

Desire Z using TapaTalk
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MonkeySnot:
You could try installing a launcher like Apex?

It will give you the option to disable the search bar and use the space that comes free afterwards.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] BrianMay:
Nova would also work,but the stock launcher works fine and is lightweight enough..although if that's not a comon feature request then I must admit is not worth the trouble just because of me ;) I can live wih that dead space,but I could love happier hehe

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ekre:
i did it already (twice, 1 at yesterday, 1 at today), problem still exists. its ok for a time, and later its just not working. all voice inputs have the issue (google voice keyboard, google now, google keep voice notes, etc). sometimes its just told me that google is unreachable or just it cant recognize the sentence (the voice activity indicator doesnt show anything, google voice based "keyboard" just shows up and then close itself, instantly)

hope thats help.

ps.: im using it with hungarian language, tried to change it back to english, but the problem still exits.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ruabell:
just noticed that I haven't seen the H or 4G icons (t.mo). I do see 3G or the WiFi icons. only pointing out because everyone with there new expensive phones just started seeing the new 4G+ icons....

on the side note loosing DSP and the volume max addition is great! tried every media player and they all sounded like crap other than Google and poweramp (paid) w/out the eq turned on.

New build up, tiny update, only incorporated T9 dialer.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ramprabhu19:
Just an idea..

Dont release a new version for tiny updates... Wait for some what major change in the rom then release the next version with the change log.

If you want to publish the tiny update , if you can just wrap it up as a flashable zip and post it..

just try to make some difference between the version releases..

Theme chooser / manager no? Would be great to have it in this rom.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MMDominator88:
Is there an option or a .zip to remove these QuickSettings?

I was wondering if we can have an option to disable these Quick Settings when i pull down my notification bar? I ALWAYS seem to have to press that little button in the corner to go to my notifications! I'm not looking where I'm pulling down the notification curtain when I want to see them, and it gets quite frustrating ;) It would be a huge bonus and much appreciated and I bet I am not the only one having this :)

I guess this would be a 'feature' request, but more like an additional setting within developer options to disable the Quick Settings :good:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] N_otori0us_:
Try this bro.

http://d-h.st/yDA

Copy it to /system/etc/permissions/ and tell me if it works. I dunno if it is though.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] captainreynolds:
Swipe down from the left half of the notification bar to see your application notifications. To access your Quick settings, swipe down on the right half of the notification bar.

I am still running 1.3.0 and absolutely love this rom. Should I upgrade? I guess my question is are there any performance improvements speed or battery wise.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MMDominator88:
You obviously missed the point

You obviously did not read my post before you replied, as I already know this and is annoying and wondering if it can be changed. I know how to read ;)

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] captainreynolds:
I did, I promise! I too had this problem when I first starting using 4.0 roms. I fixed it by taking time to really think where I was swiping down from depending on where I wanted to go, and it became second nature pretty quickly. I recommend this.

And so my previous question doesn't get too buried now, I will again ask: I am still running 1.3.0 and absolutely love this rom. Should I upgrade? I guess my question is are there any performance improvements speed or battery wise.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MonkeySnot:
You could've read the first post, because there is a full changelog right there...

Eitherway here you go:

Changelog:

Version 1.6.0:

Added T9 dialer.

Version 1.5.5:

Added mod for improved volume (thanks NeverGone\RU);

Fixed Settings > Storage crash;

New Gapps! Wipe recommended for this build.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] captainreynolds:
While I appreciate you pasting all that for me, I was asking about specifically about users' personal experience with further builds. Perhaps I should have clarified.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Akdor 1154:
is this based off Fyodor's release (if so, which?) or git at time of release? (i.e. should I flash now or wait for the upgrade based off Build 15, which fixed a bunch of stuff?)

Cheers

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MMDominator88:
Haha, I guess that came off as harsh, but he in no way answered my question... :)

I don't have much time to intently think where I am placing my finger as I work on cars all day and don't care too much about the quick settings and only about the notifications. I know it should be relatively easy to rebuild a file without it incorporated, hopefully. You should upgrade if you want to incorporate any of the things listed in the changelog or are having problems. I started on 1.5.5 and dont have the need for the T9 dialer so I did not upgrade to 1.6.0
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] masterleron:
Not really, my build has a bunch of other things that fry dosent include. See OP
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Akdor 1154:
so this doesn't include any of the stability improvements fyodor has made over stock aosp (or at least, it has your own implementations of them)?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] masterleron:
Yes it does, but only up to his second or third build.:)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] riahc3:
I agree: allowing us to choose by default when we swipe down if the notification center or the settings center appears, would be a nice feature.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] masterleron:
*sigh* swipe down to the left of the notification bar for notifications and to the right for settings.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ekre:
just a humble question, could you add parandroid's holo, or its a huge work? its looks so cool and promising, but i understand that it may be a lot of work. btw your rom is rock solid, and fast! thanks a lot for it (voice still has issues on my side, did a few wipes without any of my used apps. can i help you somehow to debug it? i can live without it, but its a nice feature in jb)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] riahc3:

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lonely_nino:
thank you very much

i just flashed this rom and everything seems to work good. but i can't find Lock screen options in setting. how could i change apps and icons in lock screen?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] masterleron:
There isn't an option for that yet, it might get integrated spoon.:)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] maraton:
Excellent!

The ROM is excellent! Almost no issues except of battery drain - but this belongs to JB itself.

One kind request only - I do really miss fully functional hardware keyboard (including quick keys).

What I have found interesting (regarding the h. keyboard) is that when you add a layout - in my case russian - it shows you a tip: "Use Ctr+Space to switch layouts". But there's no Ctr key! Yes, I can try to fix that myself (and I'll definitely do that), but seeng here updated ROM with fixed h. keyboard issue would be just great!

In the rest - once again: THE ROM IS GREAT! Excellent for everyday use! I did set up my G2 for working with corporate exchange server and I'm not afraid the phone will stop responding or I lose any data (or miss important e-mail).
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NovaPT:
Hi all,

I would like to know whether someone can confirm that some functions which are not working in the current [ROM][23-05-13][Flinny] Andromadus - CM10.1[22] are working with this ROM. Because if so I would like to switch, but as I am using the phone with a lot of apps and configurations am heasitating to "just try it".

Connection of bluetooth keyboards (Freedom PRO)

Device Encryption

Apart from that I read the thread and am wondering whether Wifi Hotspot and the Keyboard FN Keys (I need them for german alphabet) are properly working?

Following the the first post only WIFI Direct should not work. Are there any other known "real" problems (apart from occasionally crashes) so far?

Because If I change to this ROM I will stay on the same version until I get my next keyboard phone (maybe Samsung Galaxy Relay). But I don't want to give up on the HTC Z yet as its fast enough for me and the only phone with a German keyboard layout.

Thanks a lot in advance.

I would also like to see this feature added.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] NovaPT:
Good thing that encryption finally works. Following other threads, I though it was not possible at all for the HTC Z.

Though if the FN key is not working, thats a deal breaker. With the CM ROM that is working fine. Though I wonder, you really can't use the FN key? Then the keyboard would be basically useless as you can not enter any numbers and special signs.

Anyone has a bluetooth keyboard lying around he can try to pair? Mine is properly pairing with the CM ROM also with entering the code. Though it takes multiple attempts to enter it correctly. But after that the keyboard can't be connected at all.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MonkeySnot:
Try keeping the FN key pressed, just like you hold shift on your keyboard.

Not working that way either...not big of a deal for me since my hw keyboard sometimes doesn't want to cooperate
